Go – Easiness and performance at once

There are thousands of programming languages in the world and there are hundreds of public and known programming languages. From those languages only few are very popular due to several factors such as speed, ease of programming and portability.

Why Google created Go (Google’s golang)?

Efficient compilation, efficient execution and ease of programming were not appeared in a same mainstream language all together. That is why Google started a new programming language called golang to solve above problem. For an instance developers can choose Python when ease of programming is important. But as we know python is very slow since it is an interpreted language. Thus developers will select C or C++ when performance is a major factor. But as we know coding with C or C++ is not easy since it is closer to hardware not to the human.

Golang is designed by Google’s superminds to be fast, fun for humans and in other hand also to be fast, efficient for computers.

Golang features and characteristics

It is a statically typed, fast compiled language designed for modern development.

Produces binary executable, like C++

Powerful at Concurrency to allow systems to be built to scale and effectively use the computing power available.
